Imagining the Future iPhone 16 Pro, Here's the Leak

Dream - Apple will announce the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Pro models at the end of this year. It is rumored that there will be internal improvements as well as external changes.

This also raises another question, what will Apple do with the iPhone 16 series?

Although it is still too early to speculate, a concept depicting the iPhone 16 Pro has emerged. According to a review by Gizchina, this concept features a rearranged camera layout and action buttons on the body. 

Of course, this is just a concept, but its appearance can make Apple lovers think whether the future iPhone will really look like that.

Volume Button

The upcoming iPhone 15 series will have major design changes, including the solid-state volume button. However, it is claimed that this change will make the phone feel very different from previous models. 

But Apple is reported to have canceled those plans and is working on them for the iPhone 16 series. So, the iPhone 15 Pro model will come with individual physical buttons, not solid-state volume buttons. 

This also makes the newer phone look very similar to the iPhone 14 Pro model. 

“Hopefully, many things will change with the iPhone 16 Pro model. But it seems that the concept sticks to the button layout,” writes Gizchina.

Action Button

In addition, the concept of the iPhone 16 Pro also highlights the Action Button. This button will make its debut on the iPhone with the iPhone 15 Pro model. This button will work similarly to the Apple Watch Action Button. 

According to the latest leaks, the action button of the iPhone 15 Pro model will be located above the volume button. And it should have the same size as the Mute button. Of course, Apple can change the design and functionality of the button at the last moment. 

New Camera Layout?

The biggest highlight of the iPhone 16 Pro concept is the completely new camera layout. As shown by its creator, @ld_vova, it imagines two pairs of cameras.

The last time Apple made a major change to its phone's camera layout was with the iPhone 12 model. And it seems that the iPhone 16 Pro concept still sticks to a camera design that strongly resembles the iPhone 11. 

Camera Lens

According to the concept image of the iPhone 16 Pro, there are wide-angle lenses, a wide-angle lens, a telephoto lens, and a periscope lens. Here, the periscope lens is the main highlight, as it is rumored to be included in the iPhone 15 Pro model.

In addition, in the concept image of the iPhone 16 Pro, there will be a different placement of the scanner and LiDAR flash. These two lines appear to be diagonally placed within the camera module.

Such placement makes the concept phone's back look much more symmetrical. Finally, there will be various color options available. Perhaps the designer has taken cues from the rumored color options of the iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus models.
